Mining Supply Chain Design

Client Issue

Client was developing a new mine to serve the export market. A supply chain had to be designed to move product from the mine to the ports. We assisted the client in better understanding its supply chain options through flow-based, fault-based simulation modeling.

Project Approach

Developed flow-based, fault-based model to analyze the product flow from the mine onto the ship and out to open water

Conducted primary and secondary research to determine capacity and throughput rates of various supply chain components
